North Carolina and Vermont are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). The Compact requires member states to notify the licensing state of a driver who has been convicted of a moving violation outside of their home state. Thus if you plead guilty and are convicted of driving 15 mph over the speed limit then the NC courts should inform the VT DMV of this speeding citation and conviction.

The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles maintains records of motor vehicle violations for all people who drive in Vermont. According to the VT DMV they use the ACD (AAMVAnet Code Dictionary) which is a uniform set of codes that is used to report motor vehicle violations from one jurisdiction to another.

An ACD code may appear on a Vermont driving record if a violation has been reported to Vermont from another jurisdiction. There are no points assessed in Vermont for a violation occurring in another jurisdiction.

It is noted however (in some situations) that the Vermont DMV will issue a license suspension based upon receiving a report of certain violations in other states/jurisdictions.

If you are interested in looked up the ACD code that will be placed on your VT driver's license due to this NC speeding ticket, the Vermont DMV does have an ACD violation code index.

So while Vermont does not add points to a VT driving record for out of state minor violations it will place the offense on the driver's record. Since the traffic violation will be seen on your Vermont driver's history then your insurance company will be able to see it when they next pull your MVR.

It will depend upon your insurance carrier's rating system if this NC traffic ticket will affect your rates or not. Your agent should be able to give you information on your provider's rating system or you can try contacting the VT insurance regulatory body since insurance companies must file their rates with this state agency.
